On the circle with diameter $AB$, the point $M$ was selected and fixed. Then the point ${{Q} _ {i}}$ is selected, for which the chord $M {{Q} _ {i}}$ intersects $AB$ at the point ${{K} _ {i}}$ and thus $ \angle M {{K} _ {i}} B <90 {} ^ \circ$. A chord that is perpendicular to $AB$ and passes through the point ${{K} _ {i}}$ intersects the line $B {{Q} _ {i}}$ at the point ${{P } _ {i}}$. Prove that the points ${{P} _ {i}}$ in all possible choices of the point ${{Q} _ {i}}$ lie on the same line.

Given a set $C$ of points in the plane, it is called the distance of a point $P$ from the plane to the set $C$ at the smallest of the distances from $P$ to each of the points of $C$. Let the sets be $C = \{A,B\}$, with $A = (1, 0)$ and $B = (2, 0)$; and $C'= \{A',B'\}$ with $A' = (0, 1)$ and $B' = (0, 7)$, in an orthogonal reference system. Find and draw the set $M$ of points in the plane that are equidistant from $C$ and $C'$ . Study whether the function whose graph is the set $M$ previously obtained is derivable.
